Far from the madding crowd


So glad we decided not to stay near St Mark's Square.

Our airbnb for the next 4 days.

Entrance into the apartment block, with just 2 apartments in this building.

Grocery run to the supermarket down the street.

Picture perfect. The streets of Cannaregio.

Pre-dinner drinks at Timon (not the one we had dinner at on the first night. There are 2 Timons, both on the same street) on their boat. This one specialises in meat. My first taste of Spritz, very refreshing!



Round one of cicchetti

That's where we were sitting just moments before, on the deck of the black boat.

One morning we took a slow stroll through the streets by the canals near us. It was really interesting for the kids to see how daily life takes place on water.

No one to fight with us for space...

but then no food and drinks either. Can you tell we just rolled out of bed? Still looking half 😴!

Fruits and veg are more expensive here as everything needs to be transported over.

Checking out breakfast options at the local forno.

Produce and goods being boat-ed in and delivered to the shops and restaurants early in the morning.

Not what we are used to seeing, DHL boats rather than trucks.

A water garage 

Down the back lanes 

Time to head home...
